Windows Server RDS CAL now available in CSP

We reported earlier on the new Server Subscriptions for Azure in the Microsoft Cloud Solutions Provider Program. We also reported to be surprised that the Windows Server Remote Desktop Services Client Access License (Windows Server RDS CAL) was the only Windows Server additional CAL not being available. Due to partner and customer feedback, Microsoft has now fixed this.

Customers can subscribe to the RDS CAL for use with Azure or for RDS access to customer owned servers (on-premises). During the subscription period customers have the right to newer versions published and even downgrade rights apply, the same as with traditional Microsoft Volume Licensing. (see December 2018 Product Terms page 58 and onwards).
